big girrl

Emora has her 4 month doctor appointment tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how big she is. We just switched her over to 6-9 month clothes! The others looked like they were getting a bit tight and she looks great in her new duds. I could hardly believe it. Ivan and Dominique always wore the same sized clothes as their age. Emora may be our third, but it seems that she is intent to outdo the others.

Nana was able to come this weekend and celebrate Brian's first house sale with us so that was plenty fun.

Dominique seems determined to keep up with her brother. She wanted to read his words, so I gave her this easy one. She took it to Nana and told her it said "a- t"! I couldn't believe it! I'm not sure she understood that "at" is a word. But she did sound it out. Ivan's definitely eons better and is actually recognizing and figuring out the words, but it surprised me that she did that well. Likewise, I told him that if he wants to go to school some day, that he has to master using the bathroom and wiping all on his own (he still needs help wiping). Dominique overheard and has now decided she wants to do it all by herself too. Every once and a while she can do it all on her own now, but getting those underwear right can be something else. It's pretty funny sometimes to see how she comes out after trying to get them on.






It appears that it's time to update around here. I just hate how electronics don't last. We had to replace the dishwasher last month, and now the printer. We are looking at getting a new digital camera, since ours seems to be working most the time, but not all the time and this morning the phone went out!! Thankfully, since this happens every couple of years or so, Brian had the wisdom of keeping an back up unit on hand. It has a cord (remember those) and the kids think it's quite the marvel. We even have to teach them how to keep it hung up.

I'll try to post tomorrow or at least soon to tell you how the appointment went. In the meantime, enjoy this video.

If you have kids, were they smaller, bigger or average for their age??
